I applied through college or university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Red Ventures in Oct 2014
Interview
The first interview occurred on campus and was a two part interview, 30 minutes behavioral and 30 minutes case study, each with a different interview. The second interview was on site in Fort Mill, SC and lasted from 8:00am until nearly 4:00pm. Your paired up in small groups with a guide who gives you a tour of the facilities, they take this part very seriously. Then you participate in an hour long group interview where you work with your tour group to present a case to some other analysts. After the group interview they take you to lunch at the on-site cafe, the food is quite decent and very cheap as its subsidized by the company. While we were eating lunch the CEO actually came and sat with us and talked to us personally. After lunch are 3 back to back to back half our interviews, each one on one and with a different interviewer. All three consists of case interviews and behavioral/resume questions. The interviewers range from first year analysts to VP's of entire divisions. They tell you a lot about the company and its operations during the tour/lunch, pay close attention as some of this information may be useful during the interviews. The cases are very company specific and involve a basic understanding of what the company does (likely explained very informally sometime before the interview), mental math is tested very heavily as there are no calculators allowed but as long as you know your multiplication tables and are quick with percentages it should be a breeze. Also there is much emphasis on the steps you take to solve problems, they make it clear that its more important to them your thinking process than just spitting out a correct answer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked one question about whether the company should sell a domain name outright or instead sell ad space on that domain for a contract. The selling price and contract terms were adjusted for different scenarios and I had to make a decision about which option to choose.
Superday-esque. Straightforward and offered some insight into what expectations are at the company. Nice campus tour and good interactions with different types of roles at the company. Couple of analytical interviews and 1 larger case interview with other interviewees

Interview
Applied online after my universities career fair. Very simple and straightforward first HR interview, followed by a case interview with some simple mental math and analysis. Final round was a superday at the headquarters, with a tour followed by three 30 min interviews and one long group interview with Excel
I applied through college or university. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Red Ventures (Charlotte, NC) in Dec 2018
Interview
I applied through my university portal. I was contacted a few weeks later asking to choose a time for an initial call. We had a very brief call with some behavioral questions. I was informed soon after that they wanted to do another call, this time a case interview. The case interview consisted of a sales funnel, running percentage questions down a funnel and asking why I thought certain things could be the way they are. For example, how would signups for a phone plan differ over the internet than over the phone?
After that, I was invited to a final interview in Charlotte on campus. They began with a tour of the campus, and eventually I had three back-to-back interviews. Two were brief cases similar to the ones I did before with behavioral sprinkled throughout. One was more a discussion about how I would run my own business considering different factors. Finally, there was an excel case, where we were given numbers in excel and had to fill in profits/figures and create simple equations. We then had to discuss our findings.
I was contacted a few days later with an offer. Overall, it was a relatively easy interview process, and they took good care of the people they interviewed. It's a very cool, young company and everyone who interviewed seemed to really enjoy their jobs.
